What the Gelato Burger has are two scoops of gelato — the flavors include pistachio, lychee and mango — nestled inside a chocolate bun. The $7.50 creation has been on the menu at the 414 Amsterdam Ave. store for around two weeks, Caroggio says, and it’s a hit with his customers: “When they order it, they try it, they love,” he says.

The idea isn’t exactly new: Italian ice cream has been served between brioche buns, and Gelato Burger had a predecessor that Amorino billed as the Focacino, Caroggio says. He described it as more like a slider, served with a toothpick through the center

He says the new Gelato Burger will be rolling out to New York’s other three Amorino locations later this month.
